Recently got the rollerblade twister edge 3x110 after not skating for about 13 years (though i went for a short skate first time since about 3 years ago) and only on the usual 4x80 setup. I was surprised i got used to them almost instantly even after the long inactivity. The ride is smooth as butter and can coast seemingly forever while still retaining manouverability. Skates like a wetdream

At 2:40 Exactly what happened to me first skate on 3x100mm I went into my driveway and expected to slow down and I had to bail into the grass to avoid slamming my front entrance

I love 125mm. The best weapon against crappy surfaces and longer distances.

Great video as always. I will say as a size 11-11.5US, I love the K2 Sodos that have a 4*100 set up even for long distances. I just did a 15 mile skate on them and had a lot of fun with it. I am going to consider a 3*125 set up for sure though as that seems to offer even more glide like you mentioned.

Those 4x100 r100 were a lot of fun. I bet 3x110 is the best all around setup though. Have fun!

I went from a 5x80mm to 3x125. I am loving it. Doesn't really feel any different compared to the old ones. (They are faster though) I just skate distances the bigger wheels are amazing on surfaces that aren't as smooth. Should have bought these(maxxum edge 125) way sooner. Had my 5x80mm for 14 years.

​@@nomadicnewbie That's interesting. I went from 4x80mm to 3x110mm and loved it. But everyone and their situation is different I guess, with the terrain and skating style dictating what kind of wheels will be most useful. Not necessarily how far we skate. Like if you are doing a lot of stopping and starting, smaller wheels will be a lot better for acceleration in that instance.. whereas I have some pretty long stretches of pavement and roads I can cruise on without stopping, so bigger wheels work well for that. One thing I will note is 110mm and above is great for smoothing out rough terrain, which is a massive bonus where I live xD Also not sure if you already know about rockering your wheels? You could do that to make 4x90 set up more maneuverable if you didn't already know about it.

I've really been wanting to try the Kizer Tri Max frames, if I could get my hands on them in South America easily. Don't think my size 6-6.5 foot (depending on boot/liner) would allow for a comfortable ride on any longer wheelbase.

You’re probably right, Trimax are a bit long. The GC 110 are 243mm though, which is a great option for you.

I think is all about the radius. A smaller radius means a tighter circumference which in turn means irregularities hit the wheels at a more frontal angle (think aggressive wheel against rough pavement, almost impossible, mega unpleasant, everything hits / knocks the wheels back). Big radius, shallower circumference so irregularities hit the wheel more at the bottom. Also, the bigger the wheel the stronger your ankles must be. I wouldn't recommend starting with 110. I mean you can but you need to be super careful if your ankles aren't trained and you need to do some exercises when off the skates.

i am about to get a pair of blazer’s 125mm triskates, before i had a normal pair of standard 76mm 82a abec7 rollerblades and i always wanted to take them to the streets but the wheels wouldve gotten destroyed in an instant and it would be really unconfortable because of the vibrations so i am hoping to get those big wheels to get them out in the streets

I got your compass 80mm frame set off of RW and tried it in downtown Greenville SC i must say 80mm is big enough for me i was not used to rolling that fast and at times I could not slow my self down enough to stop when rolling down a hill at even a 10 degree angle would send me flying down. Haha. I still cannot figure how to powerslide and well I dont want to ruin the wheels by V stopping too much so I just surrendered to the speed and hope a hill going up will stop me. But they are very smooth wheels and frames compared to the aggressive wheels i had it was like i was skating on clouds.

You won’t notice the difference in 10mm with the skating we do. Only really experienced skaters will. I’d stick with the 100s

I have a 28.5-29cm foot (wiggle room included) and want to do a mixture of urban/fitness skating, roller rinking (where I'll do slalom to dab on the quad-skaters who think you can't dance on blades), and a bit of wizard moves at the skatepark or w/e. I'm willing to give up the wizard moves, and I'm also willing to use "convertible" frames, for instance a 4x90 or 4x100 that becomes a short wheelbase 3x110 or whatever. What's the closest thing on the market that would provide me with what I need without having to buy two wholly different skate setups? Can you get up on your toes and heels well enough to do slalom on a 4x90 as in for someone with my foot size? Is that one guy who says anything besides 80s or 100s is garbage because of prices making any sense, or is he screaming uselessly into the void and I shouldn't worry about it? Do those tri-skates with the middle and rear wheels close to each other while the front wheel is more spaced out actually improve anything?

also bearings are very important and wheel hard factor

I want to order 100mm wheels i bought 110 hydrogens. Can i still slide stop well on 110? Or should i get a 100mm. And what 100 wheels should i get? I have trimax kizer inlines on a NJ PRO boot. Help please?
